The Hmong Studies Internet Resource Center has published the online edition of volume 10 of the Hmong Studies Journal. An internet-based journal, the Hmong Studies Journal is the only peer-reviewed academic publication devoted to the scholarly discussion of Hmong history, Hmong culture, Hmong people, and other facets of the Hmong experience in the U.S., Asia and around the world. The Hmong Studies Journal has now published 12 online issues in 10 volumes with a total of 82 scholarly articles since 1996.

Mark E. Pfeifer, PhD editor of the Hmong Studies Journal stated: “Volume 10 of the journal includes articles from multiple disciplines including Anthropology, Political Science, Library Science and Medicine while providing significant additions to both Hmong American and Hmong in Asia research. It is especially noteworthy that new work is presented in this issue related to ongoing debates in Hmong Studies pertaining to cultural identity in China and as well as the Diaspora. I am particularly pleased that an English translation of Dr. Zhiqiang Yang's important research at Guizhou University will be available to the Hmong Studies Journal's international audience of readers as part of this volume. I also believe Louisa Schein and Va-Megn Thoj's provocative analysis of Hmong portrayals in the popular film Gran Torino will especially interest many."

Articles in Volume 10 discuss a wide range of topics including the following:

• Hmong American portrayals in the film "Gran Torino."• Hmong/Miao identity and history in China • A bibliometric analysis of the current status of Hmong Studies research as a field of study• A comparative analysis of Hmong American political engagement in Fresno, CA and Saint Paul, MN• Topics in Hmong American health including barriers to diabetes prevention and Hmong women's perceptions of mammography screening
